3rd Week of Craft Activities (1st Feb 2015)

Here are the Craft Activities for 1st Feb 2015...this was very popular & i repeated the same craft for 3 weekends (on top of the other crafts of course!)! LOL

Age Group 3-5: Paper Plate Pom Pom Sheep

Materials needed:
White paper plate x 1
Black Colored paper x 1
Googly Eyes x 2
White Pom- Poms or Cotton Balls
Scissors
Glue

Instruction:
1) Cut the face of the sheep, plus the legs accordingly. I used free hand to cut, but you may opt to google the template.
2) Glue the legs to the paper plate. 
3) Apply glue throughout the paper plate & start putting the pom-poms/cotton balls on it. (Here's when the kids had fun, throwing the balls to the plate & it stuck there! The younger ones were amused...)
4) Glue the googly eyes onto the face of sheep.
5) Glue the face onto the top part of the plate. Remember to check the location of the legs before sticking the face on!

And, you are done!


Age Group 6-8: Fluffy Pom Pom Sheep

This is 1 craft that even the adults can't resist & paid to make it!

Materials Needed:
Pom-pom Maker - various sizes depending on the size of the desired sheep
White Acrylic Yarn x 1 ball
Black colored foam paper x 1 piece
Googly Eyes x 2
Black colored Pipe Cleaner x 1
Scissors
Glue

Instruction:
1) Thread the yarn over & thru the pom-pom maker until you are happy with the thickness. The thickness will determine how fluffy your sheep will be. So, thread on as much as possible (eventhough it is a very tiring process...lol)
2) Cut the Black Pipe Cleaner into half & place it into the center of the circle of the pom-pom maker. Bend it to secure the legs.
3) Cut the yarns & tie it tightly.
4) Glue the googly eyes onto the sheep face. You can try google for the template if you are nit comfortable to cut it free hand.
5) Glue the face onto the yarn. Remember to check where the legs are!
6) Bend all 4 legs to desired length so that it can stand. 
7) Optional: I glued the sheep onto a base plate so that it can stand nicely.

Cute huh?
